public class BarabasiAlbertForestGenerator<V,E> extends Object implements GraphGenerator<V,E,V>
Barabási-Albert growth and preferential attachment forest generator.The general graph generator is described in the paper: A.-L. Barabási and R. Albert. Emergence of scaling in random networks. Science, 286:509-512, 1999.
The generator starts with a $t$ isolated nodes and grows the network by adding $n - t$ additional nodes. The additional nodes are added one by one and each of them is connected to one previously added node, where the probability of connecting to a node is proportional to its degree.
Note that this Barabàsi-Albert generator only works on undirected graphs. For a version that works on both directed and undirected graphs and generates only connected graphs see
